We are proud to serve as the title sponsor of the Cochise County Sheriff’s Charity Ride each year, which raises funds for local charities in Cochise County. The Sheriff’s Department has excelled in fundraising, resulting in $40,000 distributed this year, with $10,000 going to each charity.
The charity ride features both on-road courses for motorcycles and various vehicles, as well as an off-road course suitable for Side X Sides and Jeeps. Are you interested in participating in next year’s event? Be sure to email kgray@ascu.org to join our reminder email list, which goes out in early fall.
